Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion

Mr. Paul Crone:

It is humanities, ethics, creativity and imagination. These, I suppose, are at the other side of STEM but they are not really. They integrate with each other and we cannot ignore one for the want of the other. People are successful in STEM subjects when they have a good basis in the humanities in that they exercise ethics, are creative and can use their imagination. We have to look at the holistic and well-rounded individual which is very important for our system.
